Scarlett Parker and her British cousin, Vivian Tremont, are
hard at work at Mim’s Whims—their ladies’
hat shop on London’s chic Portobello Road—to
create hats for an Alice in Wonderland themed afternoon tea,
a fund-raiser for a local children’s hospital. It
seems like a wonderfully whimsical way to pass the hat, and
Scarlett and Viv are delighted to outfit the Grisby family,
the hosts who are hoping to raise enough money to name a new
hospital wing after their patriarch.

Unfortunately, the Grisby heir will not live to see
it—he’s been poisoned. When traces of the poison
are found on the hat Scarlett and Viv made for him, the
police become curiouser and curiouser about their
involvement. Now the ladies need to don their thinking caps
and find the tea party crasher who’s mad enough to
kill at the drop of a hat...

ABOUT THE AUTHOR:

Pseudonym for Lucy Lawrence.Pseudonym: Josie Belle.

Jenn McKinlay is what is known as a dessert-freakosaurus.
She has been known to eat leftover birthday cake for
breakfast, lunch and dinner and the frozen top tier of her
wedding cake didn’t stand a chance of seeing its first
anniversary. Luckily, her husband is more of a salt guy.
Since the arrival of the hooligans (her sons), she has honed
her culinary skills to include cupcakes and has baked and
frosted cupcakes into the shape of cats, mice and outerspace
aliens to name just a few. Writing a mystery series based
upon one of her favorite food groups (cupcakes) is as
enjoyable as licking the beater and she can’t wait to
whip up the next one. She is the author of another mystery
series under the name Lucy Lawrence and lives in
Scottsdale, Arizona with her musician husband Chris, their
two sons, two cats, one dog and one fish.
